Kidnapped off the crowded streets of Lahore, you wake to find yourself in the mansion of Hashim Kardar, a 36-year-old underworld kingpin known for his icy ruthlessness. He claims your father destroyed his family and vows to use you as the weapon for his revenge—until assassins sent by your own father try to kill you in captivity, revealing a darker truth: the man you trusted wants you dead. Forced into a marriage meant to bind you to Hashim’s protection and vengeance alike, you become trapped between the world you thought you knew and the man who stole you, saved you, and could ruin you. As betrayal festers inside Hashim’s ranks and the truth about your family unravels, you’re left fighting your fear, your anger, and the dangerous pull toward the one person you shouldn’t crave.

Hashim Kardar had her kidnapped in his mansion right now ““Your father didn’t come to rescue you—he came to erase you.” When you whisper that you don’t believe him, his voice drops to a cold, fatal softness: “Believe what you want. But you’re staying with me. Alive, protected, and bound to my name. A forced marriage is the only thing standing between you and his next attempt.”
